About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat, sleep, socialize and live life!

ABOUT ME

Our World is Pure Concentrated Awesomeness.

Just a run of the mill guy. Currently continuing my education of #HappinessIsAChoice as I enjoy sociable life experiences.

As for anything else, I'm laid back, cool, calm, collected, approachable, nice, and I try to live life to the fullest! (Try)

I like cars, swimming, going to the beach, hanging/socializing (The most), rides in a convertible, BMWs, photography, woodworking, travelling, automation, 3D printing, modeling, drones... Not to mention -motor-sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have dozens of friends the world over and I always welcome them to mine, as well as I am to theirs.

Though I'm moving from back packing/bar hopping/change meet friends into this connected network of cultural attachés of the world.

Broadening my scopes, so to speak.

Countries with friends/visited/etc:
Brazil
Canada
Germany
Italy
United Kingdom
Japan
Argentina
Sweden
Switzerland
Netherlands

States:
A lot of them?

Interests

I love Zip Lining (The closest thing I can get to sky diving without dying if the line actually gives way. Which with recent weight gain I guess that's possible...)

Jet skis, four wheeling, dancing/"act'n a fool"

Calm interests are video games, chess, technology/surfing internet, writing, and used to draw.

Though I like learning - architecture/computer modeling/3D printing/electronic automation/Virtual Reality/wood working/home remodeling etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I visited an abandoned sand quarry in Matthews Virginia that had hit an underwater aquifer and filled with clear, blue-tinted mineral water. Now, I remember visiting it and the periphery was a sandy beach (Covered roughly 5 acres or 15,000 square km) and beyond that was a flowery meadow... and then beyond that was a dense pine tree forest... so in essence it was the closest feeling to a Faerie Glade i've ever witnessed and I still have vivid memories and dreams of that place...
